I aim to create a supportive and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and sharing their ideas. Lessons are designed to be interactive, stimulating curiosity and fostering a love for learning. By engaging in collaborative learning experiences, children will not only learn from the instructor but also from each other, building social skills and confidence in interpreting body language cues through role playing, conversation and kahoots.
